You're going to want to spend a minimum of 800 dollars on a paper shredder. Any 
less than that and the quality is going to be so low you'll want to replace the 
damn thing within 5 years, but you won't be able to because your identity will have 
been stolen and your bank account emptied.

If you're serious about shredding, get something with carbide cutting heads and at 
least a .5HP motor. I have a Rawlings-Chamberlain MK220 AKA "The Silver Knight". It 
comes fully loaded with a dual rubber roller feeder and 6 layer hopper to separate 
different kinds of paper, wood, metal, etc.. I can shred a New York telephone book 
in under 15 seconds. The built in milling computer lets me customize the shred pattern 
to meet any security needs. I prefer a 3mm parallelogram with bilateral fiber separation. 
You can't even make out individual characters on those things.

Send me an IM if you're serious about this. Welcome to the world of paper shredding. 
You're in for a hell of a ride.
